We’ve Been Doing Our Best To Deliver The Change We Campaign- Buhari

Published

President Muhammadu Buhari says his party didn’t know what they were getting into before making so much promises to Nigerians, and as such made life difficult for themselves with the high expectations from Nigerians because of the long list of promises made.

He said his party identified only three major items…Security, Economy and Corruption.

Speaking on Monday when he hosted state house correspondents at the presidential villa in Abuja, Buhari said he and his cabinet members have been doing their best to deliver the change which the All Progressives Congress (APC) promised Nigerians during the electioneering campaign.

The president described his ministers as hardworking, saying they toil day and night to ensure that his administration succeeds.

“One of the men I pity is Lai Mohammed. Everyday he is on TV explaining our performance or lack of it,” he said.

“The ministers sit down day and night to work. Some of them have literarily lost weight because they were sleeping less and eating less (while working on the budget). They were working on every kobo to be spent.

“We recently just found out that we are poor because we don’t have anything to fall back to. This is the condition we found ourselves and this change mantra had to go through hell up till yesterday.

“And for you to talk to whoever came to visit us throughout that year, I wonder how each of your diaries would be, because people were expecting this change mantra in their own way.

“How do you define change? Luckily our party identified three major items, security, economy and corruption.”

The president spoke on why he reduced the number of ministries from 42 to 24. He also revealed that some of the permanent secretaries were disengaged because of lack of commitment.

Buhari added that there is a possibility of the economy recovering in the last quarter of the year.

“When we came there were 42 ministries we cut it to 24. We had to do it on our own because we found out that government could not continue with 42 ministers and the paraphernalia of office so we cut it down to 24,” he said.

“I underrated the influence of the PDP for 16 years watching from outside.

The experience of the staff, their commitment and zeal is different from what it is now compared to when I was in government. Sixteen years of development in the life of a developing nation is a long time.

“Most of the permanent secretaries were sent out because it was time for some of them to go and for others for one thing or the other. Because were not part of those 16 years this is where we found ourselves and this is no joke.

“We had to cut down half the number of permanent secretaries and then do some cross postings.

The permanent secretaries that were there for the past five, seven, 15 years the only thing that they know is how things were done in the previous years.

Whatever we did in the campaign, in fact we were saying rubbish and that made it very difficult for us.

“Things were even more difficult during the budget which you all know about. For somebody like me, for the first time I heard what is called padding.

“I think we will recover by the fourth quarter of the year, what padding means especially for ministers who had implement what padding contains.

There were very serious developments which I never knew about.”

Nigerian Authorities Question Two Individuals in High-Profile Cyberbullying and Defamation Case Involving Pastor Paul Enenche

Nigerian Authorities Question Two Individuals in High-Profile Cyberbullying and Defamation Case Involving Pastor Paul Enenche

Lawyer Claims No Clear Reason Given for Detention of Daniel and Eneche in Defamation Case Involving Pastor Enenche”

 

The Force Intelligence Department (FID) of the Nigerian police has reportedly detained Abraham Daniel, a former pastor with Dunamis International Gospel Centre, and Alexander Eneche following their appearance at the department in response to a police invitation. The duo faces allegations of cyberbullying and criminal defamation against Pastor Paul Enenche, the founder and Senior Pastor of the Abuja-based church.

The development follows Pastor Daniel’s public accusations that Pastor Enenche failed to honor a gentleman’s agreement between the two. This incident has led to a legal confrontation with accusations involving various offenses, including cyberbullying and injurious falsehoods.

According to Barrister Ernest Okpaga, the legal representative for the detained individuals, Abraham Daniel and Alexander Eneche voluntarily attended the police invitation, arriving at the FID office in Abuja at 1:00 pm. However, after waiting for several hours, they were only interrogated at around 8:00 pm and subsequently detained. Okpaga expressed frustration over the lack of clarity regarding the reason for their detention, emphasizing that the two individuals had fully cooperated with the authorities.

“There has been no clear reason given for their detention, even though they attended the invitation and provided their statements,” Okpaga told SaharaReporters.

Earlier reports indicated that family members of Daniel and Eneche had raised concerns over their sudden disappearance after responding to the police summons. It was feared that the two had gone missing, but sources close to the case later confirmed they were in police custody. Their families have since expressed growing anxiety over their situation, with no information forthcoming from the authorities.

The investigation stems from a letter dated January 3, 2025, which invited the duo to the FID office for questioning. The invitation letters, signed by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, Force Intelligence Department, called for their appearance on January 7, 2025, at 1:00 pm. The letters cite the need for further clarification in an ongoing investigation into cyberbullying, criminal defamation, false publications, and incitement of public nuisance, allegedly committed against Pastor Paul Enenche.

The letters, referenced CR:3000/FID/FHQ/ABJ/T.G/VOL.57/542 and CR:3000/FID/FHQ/ABJ/T.G/VOL.57/543, provided a specific time and location for the appearance—SPO’s Room 212, 2nd Floor, Force Intelligence Department (FID) Complex, Shehu Shagari Way, Abuja. The letter also emphasized that the two individuals could bring their legal representatives to the interview.

It is important to note that the legal provisions quoted in the invitation are rooted in the powers granted to the police under Sections 214 of the Nigerian Constitution (1999, as amended), and Section 4 of the Police Act and Regulations (2020).

As the investigation unfolds, the fate of Abraham Daniel and Alexander Eneche remains uncertain, and their families await clarity on their situation.
